Magic Chocolate Cake

Magic Chocolate Cake is my family's favorite snack cake of all time. I've been baking this cake for the past 35 years or so; it's never failed me. We call it 'magic' because of what it doesn't use: no eggs, no butter, no milk or cream - it's like magic that it tastes so good.The origin of the cake is a bit of a mystery. It's assumed to have become popular due to the rationing in the U.S. during World War II, when milk and eggs were scarce. You can use just about any kind of oil for this cake, but I used Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil from Tropical Traditions. Tropical Traditions is America's source for coconut oil.
